The pop star is back on Earth, the tech bros are wrecking everything, and my tour isn’t visiting that fine city of the east. Surely doomsday is nighA group of six women returned to Earth from space on Monday, including Katy Perry, the former wife of the Trump cheerleader Russell Brand; and the former Fox news presenter and philanthropist Lauren Sánchez, fiancee of Donald Trump’s media lapdog Jeff Bezos, who bent Washington Post editorial policy to favour the New American Fascism ™ ®.

I’m a simple man, just trying to salvage the last of my meager wealth during the great trade war of 2025. I know absolutely nothing about global economic policy. As such, I must be worth listening to.Dave Schilling is a Los Angeles-based writer and humorist Continue reading...
